Mutant League Hockey is a Sega Mega Drive comedy horror ice hockey game developed by Mutant Productions and published by Electronic Arts. A sequel to the company's previous 1993 title Mutant League Football, it was first released in Europe in March 1994, and is most notable for both its tongue-in-cheek horror theme, and for being built on the gameplay engine used in the company's previous NHL '94.

Gameplay

Mutant League Hockey features various bizarre creatures and an unrealistic level of comedy violence (including gameplay mechanics like players smashing under the ice to another part of the rink).

Teams

Several teams make a return from Mutant League Football.

  • Black Hearts
  • Bruiser Bots
  • Chilly Liars
  • Darkstar Dragons
  • Dead Things
  • Deathskin Razors
  • The Derangers
  • Ice Slashers
  • Lizard Kingz
  • Mighty Weenies
  • Montroyale Cadavers
  • Mutant Monsters
  • Pucksucker Pukes
  • Screaming Evils
  • The Shrimps
  • Slaycity Slayers
  • St. Mucus Ooze
  • Terminator Trolz
  • Turbo Techies
  • War Slammers
  • Galaxy Aces
  • Maniac All-Stars
  • Toxic All-Pros

History

Like its predecessor Mutant League Football, the game's unique premise has caused it to become one of few Electronic Arts games for the Sega Mega Drive which demand a high price on the video game reselling aftermarket.
